Do you suppose the geniuses governing us might consider scaling back the plan to halve Army's size now?
In a way we're lucky Yanukovich's incompetence forced Putins hand now before Barack "the Marxist Muslim" Obama could destroy the military completely.
We could throw in export subsidies for US-made fracking equipment as well.

An excellent idea, to be honest. Hopefully, this will force a rethink in military policy - mind you, I’m not counting on that, but in my opinion, a return to a ‘containment strategy’ is vital.
And it must be emphasized to Putin that ANY attempt to act against a NATO member-state would immediately trigger a nuclear response. I for one would be more than happy to tell Putin that.
